T alf-whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, Fimsii B. Comms, of Sharon, in the county of' Norfolk and State of ilfassachusetts. have invented a new and Humidifiers, of

- which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawingljoi'niingpart thereof.

This invention refers to improi'eiiients in a'fhiimidit'ying apparatus, so called, in whichA edge of the distributer and a stationary air shield above the water distributer constructed Lo direct currents of \air toward said deflector whereby the moisture distributed and broken up by the centrifugal action ofl the water distributor is directed toward said air shield and the currents of air passing over saidair shield take up such moisture and carry it away from the machine.

'lhe drawing represents a vertical seclional View of the improved humidifier in 5 represents the drip receptacle having` the inwardly curving-wall f3, to form the coutracted shoulder 7 and furnished above said shoulder with the deflector- 8. Secured at the axis of the drip receptacle is. the L sustaining tube 9 having a collar 10 and journaled on said rod is the Sleeve 11, supported by the collar 12 having the pulley 13, the fan Hand the conical water distributerlfi havinga lower somewhat flattened surface 1G. Between the'fan 14 and the upper end of the distributer 15, is the annular water supply pipe 17 furnished. with the depending conica air shield 18, l

Vater is admitted through the perforations in the water supply pipe 17 and flows in comparatively fine streams on to the surface of the distribnter 15 and upoii theV rotation of the sleeve 11 and its water distribcentrifugal action and at the sa'me `time moves downward until it strikes the curved lshoulder of the drip receptacle, then rebounding in a finer spray of which a. considerable body is formed between the edgeof the air shield 18 and the shoulder 7. Air impelled by the fan 14 passes over the surfaceof the defiec'tor 8 and is directed outward by the vlower flaring portion of said shield, such air takes up a 'considerable quantity of the creates a suction which draws -inolst-iire through the annular channel formed between such parts.

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A humidifier com moisture distributing' cement, a compartment in which said element is rotatable and aii air shieldlocated at-a distance above sneli water distributing element.

2. A humidifier comprising a drip recepdistributor,v an air'shield fixed against rotation aiid a fan forforcing air against, said shield. as and for the purpose described.

. conical moisture distributing member, means for delivering moisture to the surface of said distributing element'.

4. A humidifier comprising rotatable conical means for distributing moisture centrifugally, and fixed means for directing air eentrifugally to receive said moisture, snbstantially as described.
